Ryan Gosling on bringing Kenergy to 'Barbie'
Gosling, Simu Liu and Michael Cera on ‘Kenergy,’ playing different versions of Ken and what they hope audiences take away from the live-action film.
"I"m Just Ken," a song from the summer blockbuster "Barbie," has resonated with listeners across the globe.
Ryan Gosling first sang the song for the movie, but there have recently been several variations released since the original.
The Christmas version of the classic is part of "Ken The EP," a collaboration between Gosling and British-American musician Mark Ronson.

The extended play includes four versions of the Grammy-nominated song, the classic version and "I'm Just Ken-In My Feeling Acoustic," "I'm Just Ken-Purple Disco Machine Remix" and the holiday rendition, "I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)."
"I'm Just Ken (Merry Kristmas Barbie)" includes the same lyrics as the original tune but features festive instrumentals.
In the newly released video for the song, Gosling is featured along with Ronson and singer and songwriter Andrew Wyatt.

The studio where the video takes place is fully decked out in holiday cheer, equipped with plenty of lights, gingerbread cookies, a Christmas tree, and even a Santa Claus mug.
The video begins with a bit of banter among Gosling, Ronson, and Wyatt, while they are discussing ideas for the holiday version of the song.
Before Gosling begins to sing, he puts on his sunglasses to help him get into character.
"Because the world can have Ken's voice, but only Barbie can have his eyes," he says as he puts on his shades.
